Trying to keep a candle burning in a hurricane
That`s what it`s like when you love me and you leave me this way
Like a dove crying out when he`s lost the will to fly
Yeah.. shackled down to the earth by your long chain of lies
Well, I`ll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn`t shine
Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry
Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray
But I just can`t do it today
I can`t do it today
I can see you dancing in that stranger`s arms
My world hasn`t stopped turning but it`s falling apart
Every breath that I take`s a little closer to sane
Yeah, they say that time is a healer but it`s still a long, long ways away
`Cuz, I`ll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn`t shine
Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry
Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray
But I just can`t do it today
I can`t do it today
Go on and do it today
There`a a part of me that wishes I could just forget
But I haven`t found the mercy yet
No mercy yet
`Cuz I`ll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn`t shine
Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry
Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray
But I just can`t do it today
I just can`t do it today
I just can`t do it today
I just can`t do it today
Wanna do it today
Can`t do it today
Not gonna do it today
